Nail Art

Thanks to my sister, I'm now hooked on painting my nails. I haven't been into nail polish since the 7th grade! She used to live with us and had A LOT of nail polish and colors and would insist on painting on my nails and then I got into it. 
Now she's gone back to California but she did leave me with some colors. My awesome friend also got me a couple colors. 
Now I'm out of nail polish remover. 

I tried doing a "mummy tape mani" from the blog, Nailside. But it didn't exactly turn out the way I wanted it to...probably because I was rushing. I'll probably try again when I have more time.
 I think my sister introduced me to this particular method. Again, I rushed so I took it off. I do like the color combo though.
 My daughter wanted to paint her nails like mine and put hearts on them too so I painted them pink. When I was finished putting all the hearts on, she insisted on taking it off right then and there. So of course, I complied.
 I think this was my favorite nail art from the Nailside blog. Vertical Lightning Bolts were fun to do. I also really liked the color combo.
As you can tell, I need more orange nail polish. 

What other tape manis do you think I should try next?

Oooh, they all turned out great! I like the ton-sur-ton effect on your mummy mani, but I like your vertical lightning bolt attempt even better, those colors look amazing together! :3 Thanks for your comment by the way!

Thanks! I had to look up what "ton-sur-ton effect" meant and then when I read the definition, I was like duh! That makes sense! I'm going to try to do this again tomorrow for Halloween. Hopefully I have more patience this time :)
